Panama's success in growing coffee has not always been as brilliant as it is now, and it has taken a lot of time from the introduction of coffee to finding a suitable development path for the country.

For quite a long time, Panamanians did a lot of experiments to cross coffee varieties in order to get higher yields. In recent decades, great changes have taken place in the coffee industry in Panama.

Land prices in Panama have skyrocketed because of overseas "hot money" inflows and increased immigration, and the coffee market has been flooded with low-quality coffee from countries such as Brazil and Vietnam, which are cheaper than local ones.

In order to be more competitive, Panamanian farmers realize that selling coffee is no longer enough and that more needs to be done.

So there's the ever-growing Panamanian coffee industry that we're seeing now.

Panama is located on the Panamanian isthmus in Central America, bounded by Colombia to the east, the Pacific Ocean to the south, Costa Rica to the west and the Caribbean Sea to the north. The territory is S-shaped to connect North and South America, and the Panama Canal connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans from north to south. It is known as the "bridge of the world".

The whole territory of Panama is undulating, with vertical and horizontal valleys, mostly mountains except the north and south coastal plains. The earth is near the equator and belongs to tropical maritime climate. It is humid during the day and cool at night. The annual average temperature is 23-27C °. The whole year is divided into two seasons: drought and rain, with an average annual precipitation of 1500m3 2500mm.

Panama is located in a typical coffee belt. Panama's neighbors are all famous coffee producers in the world, and together with these countries, they tell the world about the origin of coffee.

The earliest coffee trees in Panamanian history were introduced in the 19th century by an English captain who married a Panamanian girl (Rosa Coffee was introduced to Panama in the mid-20th century). They first grew coffee in coastal areas. later, the colonists introduced coffee to the valleys of the western highlands where coffee was more suitable for growth.

The microclimate there is particularly suitable for the growth of coffee, high altitude, and the monsoon effects of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The fertile ash and natural shade under Mount Baru provide unique conditions for coffee to realize its maximum potential.

Later, many different varieties were introduced to Panama from all over the world, including Rosa.
